now we know why boehner stayed seated mostly. robert costa said according to his spokesman, he was trying to show respect for the president by not standing up and down. the spokesman said quote, speaker boehner and vice president vice president agreed last year to try to limit the number of standing ovations during the state of the union in hopes of having a more dignified atmosphere. boehner didn't clap because he wanted to be dignified. you got to believe it. we'll be right back. this is for real this time. step seven point two one two. verify and lock. command is locked. five seconds. three, two, one. standing by for capture. the most innovative software on the planet... dragon is captured. is connecting today's leading companies to places beyond it. siemens. answers. did you know not all fiber is the same? citrucel is different- it's the only fiber for regularity that won't cause excess gas. it's gentle and clinically proven to help restore and maintain regularity. look for citrucel today. >>> the short time i've been here in

and this is how boehner responds. so i think that what we're now going to see is a kind of war of words between these two men whom at least the white house hope would be potential allies. that's not going to happen. jon: kirsten, you know, the president long blamed the bush administration for driving the economy into the ditch. when jay carney was at the podium the other day, he said it's all the fault of congressional republicans. can you have it both ways? i mean, can it be the president one year and the next, you know, four years later it's the congress? >> be well, i think the argument is that president bush left obama with this and that the president has tried to talk different measures that he thinks will stimulate the economy and that the republicans have, you know, really opposed him at every turn. that's the historically correct statement, what i just said. now, that said, when you hear this back and forth twitter wars between jay carney and john boehner, and i was just reading an article about this, it's jus
